Answer 1

You'll get over that if you just force yourself to ride a few of them.  It'll suck until you realize theres not danger.   Face your fears.

Answer 2

jus always keep in mind u are strapped in and to jus relax and have fun! if you get scared that anythings gonna happen to u jus think dollar signs haha

Answer 3

Instead of thinking about the scary parts, focus on how fun it will be with your friends and the fun experience it will be!

Answer 4

there is no danger at all! i suggest just trying little one's to see if you like them. such as the crazy mouse and those things at boardwalks. also listen to music and get relaxed! Have fun!

Answer 5

hun me too I and scared of them. But I went on one with a loop. OMG I thought I was going to die when I saw it. First of all what you do if you see a scary part, Go down into the seat, hold on tightly, and close your eyes, grit your teeth, and say, I'm bringing s**y back. YEAH them other boys don't know how to act. YEAH.

That's what I did and the roller coaster was over already. And I bearly felt anything but the wind and air blowing my hair and the tracks of the roller coaster carrying me away.

Good luck hun!

Answer 6

i use to be scared, but.. just go on Goliath and you'll get over it.. you'll be telling yourself.. "i already went on that one and it was bigger.. so i could do this one" =]

riddlers revenge is my fav.

Answer 7

Just remember, you're much more likely to trip on a crack in the park and break your neck! I'm going on my first big roller coaster in two days as well, and I'm terrified! I must do it though. Good luck to you!

Answer 8

Just remember, its compleatly safe. your more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the park then have a ride break down.

those things get checked many times throughout the day bye trained professionals so your really not even taking a risk.

Answer 9

I used to be scared, but now I'not. I  used to go on small roller coasters, then, when I got used to it, I went  on bigger ones.

Have a friend sit next to you, in case. If you're going down a big hill, hold your breath if you couldn't breath and hold on tight to the person next to you or the bars in front of you. Also, loops are tough. Try your best and get your courage!

Answer 10

I used to be, then my sister and my dad MADE me go on one. I beegggeddd to stay with my mom but they made me go. I had alot of fun. Remember, Roller coasters are safe. They test them everymorning with sandbags that act like people. If the rollarcoaster has a problem , they will close down the ride for the day. Your sister and friends were prob. kidding. Theres no reports of people falling out of roller coasters, unless the intened too. They lock the seatbelts, and bars now so you cant get out. They are only about 30-60 seconds anyway. (:

roller coasters are alot of fun and safe(:

Answer 11

yea im the same way...I HATE ROLLERCOASTERS! i havent been on one yet but if i do go i wanna go with someone i kno so i can hold them super tight and scream lol

Answer 12

I used to be afraid to go on rollercoasters. But not all of them. I was only afraid of rollercoasters that went upside down. My first rollercoaster was the viper (really fun and doesn't go upside down). My first rollercoaster that went upside down was the Batman one. I closed my eyes through the whole thing. But when I went on the Superman ride I had my eyes open it was soo fun. But don't eat anything big while your there because I don't think anyone will want puke on them lol. Good Luck and have fun!! I can't wait till this summer when I go to Six Flags =)

Answer 13

Well before I got on my very first roller coaster ride, I went on the Twister at Six Flags Great Adventure to get a feel for being inverted multiple times without having to worry about the extreme height coasters throw you through, and with my heart still racing I went on the Great American Scream Machine which is among one of the taller coasters (but rough) and I pretty much got rid of my fear of roller coasters... What I'm really scared of still... Is heights. Anything over 110 feet gets me nervous. Brrrrr
